2014 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric · MM54 RAS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 with 89,025 miles. The maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards minor wear and tear issues after several years of clean records. While the car maintained a perfect history through 2025, the latest test identified three advisories related to consumables and suspension components, suggesting that the vehicle is beginning to require routine mechanical attention as it ages. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2021 and March 2023 where the car covered only 1,300 miles. However, the usage has increased significantly since, with over 30,000 miles clocked between the March 2023 and May 2026 tests. This recent surge in annual mileage likely explains the appearance of fresh wear on rubber components and tyres noted in the most recent report. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside rear shock absorber, as the light oil misting recorded in May 2026 indicates the start of a seal failure. The nearside front tyre also shows physical damage and uneven wear on the edge, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the previous advisory for a worn offside rear tyre in 2024, a thorough check of all four tyres and alignment is necessary to ensure the geometry is not causing premature degradation across the set.
